asked on boolean on dlookup not working
Access vba 2010.
I'm trying to run this dlookup and if the field value in "Status" = "In Progress" then i need a msgbox to pop up ?
If Nz(DLookup("Status", "qry_StatusOpen", Status = "In Progress"), False) = True Then
MsgBox ("You Can Not Have More than One Open Status")
End If
This is not working ?
thanks

try this
If DLookup("Status", "qry_StatusOpen", "Status = 'In Progress'") Then
MsgBox "You Can Not Have More than One Open Status"
End If
are you sure there no more other criteria to be consider as part of the Dlookup() statement?
If DLookup("Status", "qry_StatusOpen", "Status = 'In Progress'") Then
MsgBox "You Can Not Have More than One Open Status"
End If

But are you trying to determine if the field "Status" is "In Progress"?

anthony, too many double quotes. by status
@fordraiders,
seen my post?
seen my post?
DLookup("Status", "qry_StatusOpen", Status = "In Progress")
I am surprised that compiles
Dlookup needed three string arguments, and this is not good syntax
Status = "In Progress"
Deep-six DLookup.
It's a performance dog
and from your MsgBox I take it you are looking for how many "In Progess"s there are--and there can only be one.
That'd be DCount() -- which is also a dog

so, the "status" field must be Boolean ?
like I said above
are you sure there no more other criteria to be consider as part of the Dlookup() statement?
give more info about your data...

You probably mean:
If Not IsNull(DLookup("Status", "qry_StatusOpen", "Status = 'In Progress'")) Then
MsgBox "You Can Not Have More than One Open Status"
End If
/gustav
If Not IsNull(DLookup("Status", "qry_StatusOpen", "Status = 'In Progress'")) Then
MsgBox "You Can Not Have More than One Open Status"
End If

@fordraiders
can you try this
if dcount("*", "qry_StatusOpen", "Status = 'In Progress'") > 0 then
msgbox dcount("*", "qry_StatusOpen", "Status = 'In Progress'")
else
msgbox "0"
end if
post back the result
